Lilly Gold Sit 'n Stroll 5-in-1 Combination Car Seat/Stroller Imagine how convenient travel becomes with the Sit N Stroll ... You fly into town with your baby beside you in the FAA-certified flight seat. When it's time to disembark from the plane, you transform the Sit N Stroll from flight seat to stroller, which rolls down the plane's aisle, then up the jetway into the airport. You stop for a quick bite to eat, and the Sit N Stroll becomes a handy booster seat at the table. Then it's back to the stroller as you leave the terminal to hail a taxi. The Sit N Stroll transforms into a car seat which quickly buckles into the taxi, and you're ready to continue your journey. The Sit N Stroll holds children 5 lbs. to 30 lbs. rear facing and 20 lbs. to 40 lbs. forward facing and can be used from birth through approximately 4 years old. The Sit N Stroll in midnight blue features royal blue fabric with navy accents. Lightweight, the Sit N stroll features an easy one-step operation. The 5-point harness system restrains baby safely and comfortably. Featuring three harness positions, the Sit N Stroll accommodates your child while he or she grows. Its adjustable height handle features high density foam handle grips. The low center of gravity prevents the stroller from tipping. The retracted stroller wheels are fully shielded from your automobile seat. A convenient storage bin in back easily stores essentials. The Sit N Stroll features a removable and easy to clean padded cover. Approved by the FAA, the Sit N Stroll is certified for use on airlines. The Sit N Stroll is a full-functioning stroller and can also be used as a booster seat for dining out.
Customer Review: Great idea, bad execution.
I purchased this seat in hopes of using for my daughter's every day car seat and also for taking it on airplane trips. We ran across a number of complications:
1) When she was born, the nurse at the hospital wouldn't allow us to leave with this seat because my daughter was too tiny for it so we had to go out and purchase an infant car seat. Don't expect to put your newborn in this seat.
2) Once she was big enough to use the seat, we took it to the car seat installation clinic at the hospital. These are professional people who are trained to install car seats properly. They couldn't get this seat to install safely in either of our vehicles because of the method it uses to attach to the car and the hard plastic (slippery) base that covers the wheels when they're retracted. There was just too much wiggle room no matter how tight we pulled the straps to attach the seat. I decided to put this seat in my husband's car (he drives her 1-2x week only a short distance) and purchase a traditional convertible seat for my car.
3) It's really difficult to get the kid in and out of the seat because there is a strap across their lap that you have to slide the kid under to get her in and out.
4) The seat was very convenient for taking my daughter on airplane trips. I took it three times with just me and her, no helpers, and it made it nice and easy for getting through security and I could check it at the gate and not worry about having so many pieces of luggage (car seat, stroller, plus giant suitcase) This is the only reason I'm giving it two stars instead of one. The problem in traveling came on the third and last airplane trip this seat took with us. I had gate-checked the seat with the wheels and handle retracted and the plastic shield protecting the wheels broke in transit, rendering the seat unsafe to be used in the car. The airlines replaced the seat with a much cheaper traditional convertible seat which was good enough to get us home but didn't have the functionality of the Sit & Stroll. I called the manufacturer to ask if I could purchase a replacement part and they said that not only was the seat not under warranty after less than a year of use, the part that broke was not a replaceable part so I was left with an expensive heap of garbage.
Bottom line is, if you get this DO NOT check it into the cargo hold! Wait to use it until your child is old enough that they need their own seat and use it on the airplane. It's too rickety to survive the luggage compartment.
Customer Review: Strapping design is dumb
Just look at the user guide menu. You will not want to strap your baby down like the way they present in the menu. I don't think any baby can feel comfortable with all the strapping over their shoulder and another strap around the baby seat itself. It's just dumb.
Unless you want to pay $250 for a stroller only.

This net is great! The elastic is strong and the weave is tight so it keeps out the tiniest of bugs. It's huge too, so there's no problem covering the carseat (for my infant) or the entire stroller. The carrying case is really handy too. You won't find a better product for a better price!

Customer Review: Fabulous stroller
After searching on what stroller I should get for walks around the neighborhood with my son, I found this great stroller that beats any I've tried before. It pushes so easy and the feature I most like is the folding system and also the storage, you can easily take the wheels out and store it anywhere. I also own the city mini double and that's when I first fell in love with the baby jogger strollers. Highly recommend.

Combi Torino DX Full-Sized Lightweight Stroller in Ember
Combi Torino DX Full-Sized Lightweight Stroller in Ember
Combi Torino Stroller The Combi Torino is a fantastic stroller. It is one of the premier Combi strollers because of its lightweight and easy maneuverability. This Combi baby stroller is fantastic because it has stylish fabric combined with sophisticated, modern safety features. It comes in two terrific colors which will fit either a girl or a boy. The Torino DX is a lightweight stroller, perfect for quick trips or long vacations. Weighing in at under 20 lbs, this stroller from Combi is the perfect choice for families looking for a lightweight stroller, but with all of the features of a standard sized stroller. The canopy is designer and features European styling to help give the Combi baby stroller a modern, fashionable look. The canopy on the Combi stroller also extends for increased coverage from the elements. Self standing when folded, the Torino is perfect for stowing in the trunk or other places.
I absolutely love this stroller I have only had it a few days but it is amazing, I got it for my very large 19mo old littler girl (34lbs) and she loves it also. It is super lightweight, turns on a dime, and I love how the seat lays all the way back. I lay it back and let my daughter sit all the way in the back with toys. The basket is smaller, but you can not have everything, but it will hold her jacket, a lunch, and a few toys. The canopy is huge and I love it. I did purchase a cady with hooks to hang from the handles for extra storage. It also folds and unfolds very very easily. I would definitely buy this product again.
CustIuse every feature on this stoller!
i am not the type of parent that buys tons of baby gear with all the bells and whistles - i knew most things would be used for less than 6 months so i contented myself with consignment shop finds. however, i was determined to find a stroller that i wanted since it was to last me 3 years or so.
i ended up with the Combi Torino and i love it!! i have a small frame and needed a lightweight stroller. the Torino is only 16 lbs but provides all the amenities of a full-sized stroller. it also has one of the biggest extendable sunshades - perfect for babies that won't wear hats. there is one a panel of clear plastic in the shade as well that lets you see baby while you push. the stroller i used for my older child didn't have one of those and i was constantly stopping to peek around and check if she was sleeping/in the sun/lost a toy/etc... i also love the harness system on this stroller. it has the full 5 point harness, but the arm straps are looser and adjustable to allow more freedom of movement without having baby's head dangling out the side. the arm straps can also be unclipped easily when baby is ready for just the crotch harness.
the other thing i looked for in a stroller was maneuverability - i like that there is just one handlebar that goes straight across as opposed to 2 curved handles. i have a dog to walk everyday and it is infinitely helpful that i can steer one-handedly while holding the leash with my other hand.
i had considered getting a cheaper model by the same brand, but decided that having a parent cup holder and adjustable handlebars was worth the extra $40. there is almost a foot difference b/w my husband and i in height so the adjustability was key. and although i haven't had to wash it yet, the seat comes off and is washable! besides that, it is well padded and is made of breathable fabric.
of course, there are cons, though very minor. i wish the wheels were made of rubber, not plastic. the brakes are easy to apply with your foot, not so easy to disengage with same foot. i have to bend down to disengage the brakes with my hand depending on what shoes i'm wearing. maybe it will loosen over time. folding the stroller is also a tad difficult (though not a deal breaker for me) b/c the front wheels have to aligned just so in order for it to fold properly. you also need two hands for folding...
in short, this is a great lightweight stroller with tons of features for the price. hope you enjoy yours as much as i do!

7A.M. Enfant "Blanket 212 Evolution" Extendable Bunting Adaptable for Strollers - Gray/Black it Great product!
i bought this for my 9 month old to use while he's in the stroller and i'm running. minnesota can get cold in the winter, so i needed something that would keep him extra warm. i've only had the chance to use the Blanket 212 Evolution twice, but both times (with the temperature being around 30 degrees) he has stayed very warm. i didn't find it difficult to use, install in the stroller, or adjust the size/length. as of right now, i am very happy with my purchase.
7A.M. Enfant "Blanket 212 Evolution" Extendable Bunting Adaptable for Strollers - Gray/Black it poor quality - didn't last one winter
I was thrilled to buy this, and I thought it was a genious idea, especially since my son won't wear a hat or gloves no matter how cold outside. It works like a polar-expedition sleeping bag, and it fit my Phil & Ted's stroller perfectly. Baby was snuggled, warm and comfy in the worst weather, without having to wear bulky winter outerwear. For 2 months I couldn't have been happier, even though one of the adjustable pulls broke almost the first day I used it. However, once the hood zipper broke in the middle of winter, this $200 product became as useful as the $40 JJ Cole Bundle Me. I'm willing to pay the price for a high-quality item, but if 7am Enfant is going to charge as much as a North Face polar expedition sleeping bag, they should deliver the same quality. In the end I was terribly disappointed and felt like a sucker for shelling out so much money for a shoddy product.

Customer Review: Nice Stroller
InStep Suburban Safari Double Jogging Stroller (red/grey) This is a very nice stroller for the money. My boys are a little tall, but fit just fine when the seat is back a little. I have little trouble fitting through doors, but feels like it is self-propelled. It runs very well, but investing in an extra sun-visor is a must.
